The more newborn portrait sessions that I do, the more I have honed in on my personal style and art. I just love babies with neutral, natural and soft colors. I think they look the best against a baby's beautiful skin tones and help keep the focus on the baby. I love color as much as the next person, but when it comes to a baby's first portraits, there is nothing more delicate and dreamy than using whites, creams, grays, and pastels. I've always used props minimally. Today I would like to share a photography session that I did with newborn twin boys. Oddly, every set of twins I have ever photographed has been twin boys. Someday, that trend will break, but interestingly, I have yet to photograph twin girls.

I adore photographing twins. Every set I have had the pleasure to work with has been so easy. Twins often come a little early, so they are sometimes smaller, more sleepy, and don't mind being posed at all. In my experience, they seem to be easily calmed by simply placing one near their sibling. It is fascinating to me how twins can sense each other and are instantly comforted by each other. These infant boys that were so wonderful for me definitely had their own personalities. I had so much fun photographing and cuddling them.

Cream is probably my favorite color to use. It is so soft and dreamy and when you consider displaying your newborn portraits in your home, it is a wonderful color that goes well with just about any decor.

Soft, neutral colors really help bring out a baby's sweet little features. I love how you can see their blonde hair in this one, as short and fuzzy as it is. Newborn twins sure love to snuggle with each other.

It is always special to catch a newborn baby smiling, but isn't is extra adorable when you catch two? These two boys and their gentle smiles show that they are cozy together. Gray is one of my favorite shades for baby boys. I have quite a few gray backdrops, blankets, and hats to use as props. I knit these little gray merino bonnets myself.
